Bonus Tale 6: The Only Thing A Gambler Needs

As it is past Midsummer, it is time for us to reappear in your feeds with new old tales to tell. Some of the audience might be familiar with this specific one. The tale "The Soldier and Death" was adapted for television as one of the episodes of Jim Henson's “The StoryTeller” with some minor corrections that made it easier for consumption.

Full transcript for the episode available on our website: http://blisaletter.ru/2024/07/07/bonu...

Our narrator for today is Mark Nixon, the award-winning director and creator of the "Shadows at the Door" podcast, who actually chose this story to tell out of his own free will.
